It can also print out in a parsable format,
including how different caches are shared by different CPUs,
which can be fed to other programs.

+Some options have a \fIlist\fP argument. The \fIlist\fP argument is a comma
+delimited list of the columns. Currently supported are CPU, Core, Node, Socket,

+available will be printed.
+
+Note that the optional \fIlist\fP argument cannot be separated from the

+Print out in parsable format.
If the \fIlist\fP argument is not given then the default backwardly compatible
output is printed. The backwardly compatible format uses two commas to
separate CPU cache columns. If no CPU caches are identified, then the cache
columns are not printed at all.
